Morning all cold and windy here there was a light frost earlier on this morning but nothing like yesterdays frost. Just had a bowl of porridge now going to top up my bird feeding holders and tray's around the garden then read a book have a good day all.

Verdun I will admit it MIGHT have been me trampling over your grasses. Only might. Because my little bed socks were clean this morning. Its just that its awfully hard to find your way to the compost heap for a midnight pee in the dark! Do you mind if I install little landing lights across your garden for tonights jaunt?

Your neighbour is lovely by the way. Who knew that she's a fan of peeing in compost heaps too.

Great fun at the Hort soc AGM last night, nibbles, drinks and a quiz. We had a joke quiz this year where you have to supply the punchline to get your point . Lots of laughs. Best one was ….. what did the caterpillar say when he saw a butterfly ?

Cold windy day today but still a way above freezing comditions elsewhere I guess

Leaves are dropping off dogwoods now to reveal those nice red "sticks". They will provide nice backdrop and variation for the hellebores later. Mahonia charity flowering now, camellia and rhodo, etc buds a plenty and signs of daff growth. Wallflowers amd stocks threatening to flower. Who said winter is dull?

Hello folks I'm back from southern parts - damp and chilly but some lovely russets and golds in the hedgerows, dotted with scarlet jewels and silvery gossamer. Beautiful I dropped my daughter at the little rural station for her journey home and there was a toothless old chap with a deerstalker hat with earflaps, sprinkling buckets of salt on the platforms. He was annoyed 'cos he'd done it in the morning and the rain had washed it off!!!

I am now chair of the Hort soc, which is a bit strange as I am the new boy on the committee. My colleagues have all been members for a long time. Clearly a vote for anarchy. Now awaiting the summons to the Palace! I have a few new ideas, but softly, softly ……

Tried a bit of Xmas shopping this am, not very successful.
Paperwork finally got underway this pm, light at the end of the tunnel now.

Mmm, sounds suspicious to me Sir Woody - Why would only a new boy take on the job? What aren't they telling you?
